[SOLVED] Stuttering in SOME Games on MCC PC

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection
1

Since around the time of the Season 6 update, I’ve been having stuttering issues exclusively in Halo CE and Halo 3. On the other hand, Reach plays completely smooth with zero frame drops. After extensive hardware testing, rolling back video drivers and a clean install of Windows, no solutions have come up. My hardware can easily run the games, as I’m running an RTX 2080 TI with an i9-9900k.

I’ve logged almost 180 hours of MCC, so I’m absolutely sure I would have noticed this stuttering if it was present before. Is anyone else experiencing stuttering across some, but not all games in MCC?

Yeah I am getting stuttering in Reach after the latest update, from stable at 240 then drops to 0-10 for a few seconds then back up.
Never had it before, Running 1080ti

I have just found the solution, likely caused by a recent Windows Update. I changed my power plan from “basic” to “advanced” in the control panel, which prevents the CPU from clocking up and down. The MCC frame rate limit was causing the CPU to clock down in some of the games which resulted in the stuttering.
